Part 4

When Jesus conquered Satan at the cross, he was stripped of the dominion and authority that man had willingly submitted to him, and that authority and dominion was given back into the hands of man.

However, it is still possible for the devil to use the same tactic he used in the Garden of Eden - deception - to trick men into submitting to him and therefore empowering him to carry out his wicked plans.

A spirit - any spirit - has to have a human flesh-and-blood body cooperating with it in order to accomplish anything on this earth.

The reason there is so much evil still raging on this planet is because people, in flesh-and-blood bodies, are unknowingly submitting to the lies and deception of the devil and in doing so, cooperating with him to carry out his wicked schemes on the earth.

Ephesians 6:12 confirms this: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age and against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

So how does Satan trick and deceive people into submitting to him?
